Estimation and Optimization of Energy Consumption on Smartphones

The energy consumption into a smartphone is defined by the energy cost necessary for the components equipment to achieve their activities. These activities are induced by software executions related to the users' activity. In other words, the energy consumption could result from the execution of different interactions between hardware, software and users which by their behaviors trigger a workload on hardware components. The assessment and measurements of the cost of consumed energy, as well as problems in the methods used for evaluation and optimization of energy consumption, are the topic of this investigation. As result of this work, we conclude that some of the investigated techniques are more accurate than others for tracking the main sources or equipment responsible of consuming energy.
